The Spirit of Christmas has arrived a little early for the town of Santa Claus as officials from Holiday World announce a package full of goodies for their 2018 season.
Holiday World will invest a total of and a half million dollars in new attractions and other improvements for 2018.
They include:
Tembo Falls – a water slide complex with eight junior slides, including twisters, a helix, a mini-bowl, and two racing slides.
Tembo Tides – a junior wave pool plus spray features for younger children.
Huge Themed Maze for Happy Halloween Weekends.
All new entertainment, including a stunt show, musical magic show, and strolling brass band.
Track improvements for The Voyage, the world’s second-longest wooden roller coaster
Riverside Retreats which will include mini cabanas in Splashin’ Safari.
And an Electric Car Charging Station.
Holiday World President Matt Eckert says they are adding a fun elephant-themed water-play area for younger children.
Eckert says when they discovered the Swahili word for elephant is Tembo, they named their new slide complex Tembo Falls and the junior wave pool Tembo Tides.
Eckert says Tembo Falls and Tembo Tides are designed for children who are under 54 inches tall, but he says their older siblings and parents are welcome to enjoy the slides and wave pool with them.
Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari will open for the season in May.
Season Passes for 2018 are currently discounted for holiday gift-giving. On-line applications for seasonal employment will be available in January.
